Perfect day =)

Today was just one of those really lovely days.
The weather was better than could be expected.
In the morning we had a "car wash" play date organised by the Winnipeg Momstown chapter. The weather was really warm, but overcast with a nice breeze, perfect for the little munchkins. The kids had a really good time. Each mom brought a ride on car for their kids to wash. Emma and Xavier took their seriously and with much enthusiasm. Unfortunately, I was so busy chatting with the other moms, I forgot to take photos! I know! Me, forget to take pictures??? What??? I discovered two of the moms (who are sisters) have a Chilean background and one of the other moms is Mexican. The best part was that these moms were speaking Spanish to their kids! Since Richard doesn't speak enough Spanish to our kids, I think these ladies might have a good linguistic influence on them ;)
We came home to a spotless kitchen and lunch being cooked, thanks to Richard and Karina. Didn't have to do anything at lunch but eat!
After lunch Karina decided to take Emma and Xavier on a bus/shopping adventure! Lucas was the happiest boy on earth when he realised he had both parents all to himself! After Richard went to work, Lucas and I went on a lovely walk. We walked on Lyndale Drive (in the Norwood Flats) which runs along the Red River. Lucas really enjoyed this part. We kept walking until we arrived at Mémère's house (which preceded a 5 min freak deluge!)
Lucas was just as happy to see his Mémère as she was to see him. It was so nice to have a visit with just the three of us. Mémère even commented on nice a quiet it was =) After having a nice supper thanks to Pasquale's, Lucas and I headed home.
Lucas fell asleep just blocks from home where Emma and Xavier were already playing in the pool for a nice cool down. Karina and I joined them, well I only wet myself to my knees, at least I was there.
Now all three babes are snug as a bug ;)
What a perfect day...

Hellooo out there =)

So much has happened since the last time I blogged! I really need to prioritize some time to sit here and write. It would be nice to have something to show the kids when they are older.
Lucas is now a year old, running around, climbing, putting everything in his mouth! He's such a sweet little boy. His favourite thing to climb is the living room coffee table. Once he succeeds to make it, he quickly does a dance before we take him off! What a cheeky monkey!
Xavier is growing like a weed! That child is so tall, he'll be massive when he's older! He is extremely inquisitive and some scrapes/bruises as evidence.
Emma is really looking forward to starting kindergarten in the fall, especially the part where she takes the bus! She'll ask me every other day if this is the day to go to school. I'll have to remind her of this when she's a teenager ! LOL!
